Author: George Wither, 1588-1667 Hymnal: ELW2006 #828 (2006) Meter: 7.7.8.7.7.12 Scripture: Psalm 148 Lyrics: 1 Alleluia! Voices raise,
sounding God Almighty's praise.
Alleluia, alleluia!
Hither bring in one consent
heart and voice and instrument.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
2 Now come all before God's face,
in this chorus take your place.
Alleluia, alleluia!
And amid the mortal throng,
be you masters of the song.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
3 Let, in praise of Christ,
the sound run a never-ending round,
Alleluia, alleluia!
that our songs of praise may be
everlasting, as is he.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
4 So this huge wide orb we see
shall one choir, one temple be.
Alleluia, alleluia!
In the Holy Spirit one,
we will sing what God has done.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
5 Thus our song shall over-climb
all the bounds of space and time.
Alleluia, alleluia!
Alleluia! Voices raise,
sounding God Almighty's praise.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
